NightWalker XI · 2003-09-20, 01:28 AM

Its an old bug, it happened alot when you looked at the bottom of the tower on a certain angle, its been fixed

Katanaboy · 2003-09-20, 02:40 AM

no it hasn't, it happened to me yesterday...enjoyed watching my buddies "swim" to the equip terminals.

Sentrosi · 2003-09-20, 05:42 AM

Yeah, they'll get to work on this bug right away. Right after they fix the door bugs and other things that pop up in game now.

In other words, it's one of the last bugs they'll fix

It's happened to me once, and for a very very short period of time. les than a second. I didn't swim, I was running down the stairs and water appeared for less than a second. I was like, WTF?

Heh, correct me if I'm wrong but this bug occurs because:

On each continent the water level is set at a certain height, so if the terrain *ever* goes beneath that level water will show up. This can be prevented in certain areas I assume because as we all know, in general the huge underground base areas aren't flooded, plus a few (I think) pits in the terrain don't have water either. Somehow in some towers and possibly bases the water blocking is broken slightly so if you look at it from a certain angle the water shows up.

So assuming my above explaination is correct then all you have to do is find a tower that goes beneath the sea level, mess around for a bit and you'll see the water. I've come across this bug many times myself and each time I've checked the tower is beneath sea level. Any PS devs feel free to come in and totally smash apart my theory :P

First you get a picture editing program, and then you add in your own effects.
